		7 wide rolling stock
I'm hooked on 7 wide. I thought I would try a passenger car in the VIA rail colors. Its a little big... 56 studs in total. It still handles a 180 turn but it hangs over the inside of the track. I used SNOT'd 1x4x5 windows for the majority of the (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
